Visitor Visa question

[johnnyv 20]

From what I've read, after you've applied for the K-1 visa you need a Visitors visa to enter the country, correct? Even if the fiancee is from Canada?

If the answer the above question is yes, how long does it take to approve? Is it as much of a hassle as a K-1? Do you have to apply for another visa each time you want to come back into the US? She'll generally travel 2 weeks a a time, not months.

Thank you for your help!

Nope. No visitor visa from Canada. Just cross over as usual going to visit / on vacation.

Well that's some fantastic news! I thought we had to have one as well.

Petitioning for the K1 changes nothing- if you can enter the country (as a Canadian, a European on the VWP or already have a tourist visa), you can still visit.
